So, she just chose one of two most cruel conflicts. Arguably, Palestinians face an even worse fate, with an extensive humanitarian crisis, than even the Ukrainians.

Why do you specifically choose Ukraine over Palestine?

Absolutely, BUT, achieving many things that bring happiness in your life does cost money anyway.

Starting a happy family? You need a place for everyone to live, a food for everyone to eat, clothes to wear, all the expenses going into creating wonderful moments for your family, be it a small homely party or an adventure.

Having friends? You need to hang out somewhere, do something together, and that would likely drain your wallet.

Opening something new, going for a trip? Tons of money again.

Like, sustaining your life to begin with? You wouldn't believe it - a lot of money.

So, we cannot pretend that money and happy living are two completely disconnected entities. Money is essential in providing the lifestyle one wants to have. And no amount of content and gratitude will help you if you're broke as hell and doing slave job to survive.

So, the coffee example is not about buying a dopamine hit. It's about sustaining the kind of life one wants to see. A cup of coffee, in this case, is not an embodiment of consumerism, but a personal ritual.

Blame can be channeled - for better or worse.

It makes sense to blame the powerful for deteriorating quality of life. The question is what to do with it.

Home video stuff is arguably the best!

Often filmed with nothing but desire to share the joy. Vivid, real, as opposed to the carefully curated studio plastic, or OF crap where people have it for the money, and with all the ethical and other concerns about it.

But I know there are always two sides to look at the issue. Studio production is obviously more perfected, and that's what many like

I've used Debian for like half a year and this happened to me once, and to my buddy once as well.

Had to su

But why would someone use sudo to invoke su is out of my understanding.

I mean, you lose nothing for trying. Windows will still be on your machine if you dual boot or use live image.

Some use cases may force the user to stay with Windows. Most won't.

Put Windows and Linux on two separate physical drives and this will never happen

Going Debian is fully valid too! And more generally, whatever distro works for you is the best. There's a good reason there are so many.

Damn, 5 kids...you're a hero lol

Fedora sure is mature as well, but Bazzite in particular is immutable, which adds a level of complexity you may not be ready for. Debian can be used as a gaming distro, at least for as long as you're not using the latest and greatest hardware.

Constant updates are pretty much a feature of all distros close to the bleeding edge. That's what makes them bleeding edge to begin with. With Debian, you'll be forgiven to forget updates even exist.

Last time I checked there were two, and realistically only piefed.social had any userbase. Is it not relevant anymore?

Piefed is very centralized as of now, and while it is small overall, we'll see how it goes with the new instances.

In my area there is an actual law regulating this. You can leave earlier, but you won't get payment for the last period if you do so, unless your employer agrees to pay it out anyway.

Used Debian, Manjaro, Mint (regular Ubuntu version), Fedora as a daily driver on PC; Debian, Ubuntu and a bit of Arch on servers.

Currently running Fedora. Debian is good, but I appreciate being closer to the bleeding edge, and while Flatpaks help bridge the gap, they also make more up-to-date distros remain stable, and you wouldn't use Flatpaks for system packages which also matter.

Previously ran Manjaro - nice premise, but the team does not have the capacity to pull it off just stable and good enough. It does tend to break after a while. I still wish their team all the best and hope it will one day become my home again - but not before they sort their mess.

Arch on desktops is too much of a "debloated" experience for me - I don't enjoy having to build my system from scratch, even though I know how. Also, the risk of updates borking the system is too high, and I'm not red-eyed enough to read all update notes. On experimental servers with just a few packages, though, it can be useful.

Mint was actually quite buggy for me too, despite folks generally insisting on stability as one of its selling points. Also, they are strong on promoting Cinnamon, and I'm a KDE fanboy (and a bit of a Gnome enjoyer).

Fedora caused me problems only once, and that is when I used universal Linux package to install proprietary NVidia drivers (use the package from Fedora repos to avoid my mistakes!). Other than that, and through several major updates, it works like a charm. It also automatically saves system images while updating, and you can easily load any. Stability-wise, it was same as Debian to me.

I'd trade a real burger and fries for that.

Looks great, made with love, and is just right for the summer!

2,5 years in, not looking back.

To be fair, some multiplayer titles (Fortnite, Valorant, recently Apex Legends, Splitgate 2) do not work due to anticheat being very Windows-specific, but other than that, I have not encountered any issues.

Currently playing World of Warcraft, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Minecraft, Gunfire Reborn, Endless Space 2, recently played Split Fiction, Cyberpunk 2077, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, TES V Skyrim, Elite Dangerous, Warframe, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Cycle Frontier, Once Human, a bit of Star Citizen - each and every one of them played perfectly well.

I haven't noticed issues in any singleplayer/co-op/MMO games I've tried. For multiplayer shooters, it gets worse. All Valve games are alright (of course), and some others are too. Apex Legends is a biggest loss, they've recently decided to arbitrarily drop all Linux support, despite working flawlessly in the past.

Lemmy.today offers smooth Lemmy experience without defederations. Loving it, using for well over a year.

I feel like this is one of those calls that get so repeatedly people get numbed.

Something along the lines of climate change, economic crisis, etc.

They are all true, but people are passivated.

For real though; GET THE DAMN LINUX. SPIN IT UP IN A VM. TRY THE LIVE VERSION. DUAL BOOT IT WITH WINDOWS. YOU LOSE NOTHING, WINDOWS IS STILL THERE. JUST TRY IT FOR ONCE.

It is painful to see people struggle with things that are easily solved.

Aren't they sourcing the search results from Bing?

Yes, it works perfectly well without Internet. Tried it both on physically disconnected PC and laptop in airplane mode.

Are they all inhumane, or are the commanders and some of the most brutal soldiers?

A lot of people got into the battlefield against their will, and among those who signed the contract, most did it for the money and not out of bloodlust.

Dehumanizing the enemy is leaving them little room to defect or change their views.

Will you keep us updated?

We want to know whatcoms next
